Mavic C29ssmax 29er Wheelset
The Mavic C29ssmax is, yes, a Crossmax built specifically as a 29er. Big wheel fans rejoice. It is not just a 26" wheel extended, but a wheel designed as a 29er to have the Mavic performance you expect, in a package that amplifies the Crossmax tradition. The result is the lowest rotational inertia of any 29" wheel and a wheel that has the right balance of strength, stiffness and lightweight -- light enough for cross country, but strong enough for all-mountain use and the demands of the larger diameter. There are two front wheel options -- a dedicated 20mm front hub exists for the ultimate in steering and suspension precision, or the other option affords conversion between standard quick release and 15QR.
The Mavic C29ssmax starts with oversize aluminum straight-pull hubs, anodized black. Both front and rear wheels have 24 round Zicral aluminum spokes. The front is laced 2-cross and the rear uses Mavic's Isopulse pattern (2-cross on the left and radial on the right) in order to achieve a more balanced spoke tension and improve durability. Fore spoke drilling leaves no spoke holes in the interior of the rim which makes this wheel tubeless compatible without the use of any rim strips. The rims are crafted from Maxtal aluminum and are shot-peened and black anodized. ISM machining removes extra material from between the spoke holes to reduce weight without sacrificing strength. The rim is joined by the popular SUP joinery process, where the joint is welded and milled for a clean appearance, light weight and great strength. QRM+ cartridge bearings are Mavic's finest grade and ensure smooth operation and both the front and rear hubs are micro-adjustable with the included hub tool/tire lever.
This wheelset is part of Mavic's MP3 extended warranty program. The acronym stands for Mavic Product Protection Plan, and it provides you with two years of almost unlimited no-fault protection from Mavic. More details can be found on the MP3 website. Please note that MP3 coverage must be purchased within 5 days of the date that you receive your wheels. You'll get an email from us the day after your online wheel purchase, containing the retailer and product codes that you'll need to register your wheels on the Mavic MP3 site. You'll also need the serial numbers that you'll find on your wheels. The cost for this coverage is approximately 8% of the retail cost of the wheels.
The C29ssmax Wheelset is both UST tubeless and tube compatible and accepts only 6 Bolt ISO standard disc rotors. The Shimano/SRAM compatible FTS-X freehub body works with 8-, 9-, and 10-speed cassettes. Mavic recommends tire sizes ranging from 1.5" to 2.3". The wheels come with UST valve stems, a wheel magnet, a bearing adjustment tool, and a spoke wrench. They are black throughout -- hubs, spokes, and rims. The front wheel is 815 grams and the rear wheel is 935 grams for a combined wheelset weight of 1750 grams.
